So Leeds next 3 should break you or some of the hopefuls.

I actually think we'll do it.. but in true Leeds fashion - it will be done the hard way

Ideally, I'd like Forest up too with us.

Can absolutely guarantee Leeds will bottle it.

Part of their DNA.

Want:
Brentford, Bristols, Forest

Expect:
WBA, Leeds, Fulham.

yup well said.

and who are you?

After some wishful thinking I have come to my last 3 in a very low totals promo season:

WBA ..82
Leeds..81
Brentford .. 80

Could be 5 teams with just a 3 point spread at the end,
Goal Difference might be crucial.

My last years effort
posted on 7/2/19

Norwich 89......+5pts
Sheff Utd 83.....+6pts
Leeds 81.....+2pts
West Brom 79.....+1pt
Middlesbrough 78....-5pts

So got the top 4 correct order but way off on the top 2's points tally.

This seasons effort

1st WBA 88pts
2nd Leeds 82pts
3rd Fulham 81 pts
4th Brentford 79 pts
5th Forest 77 pts
??? Bristol C 70 pts

Predicted Leeds to draw with Fulham which could be the game to swing it if my predictions are close (they wont though )

Do I back Albion to win it with money? 3/1 I think.

A bit high for WBA I think .... 31pts from 16 games ?

Nottm F at 8-1 for a top 2 finish OR 5-1 for promotion would be worth a nibble. Brentford GD looks worth a point any day. ! A low promo total on the way.

Yeah I did consider that after doing the match predictions. Leeds and Albion must have been averaging around 2 pts a game before the recent shocking runs? Surely someone has to do it over the last 16, hopefully it's us!

Promised someone at work £100 for each of the 5 teams if they manage to get their points tallies spot on. Also £100 if they get the order of the top 5 correct. I think I'm safe

wba 94
leeds 91
notts forest 90
Brentford 89
fulham 85

If Leeds get promoted, you're on

My, very unreliable, crystal ball has Leeds promoted as champions with 86 points, WBA in second on GD from Forest with 84 and Fulham next with 80. Probably not a good idea to stake too much on it though.

Albion gone odds to win the league with most bookies (still 11/10 Unibet, 888). Been impressed with their stats last couple of away games.

WBA have pinched a healthy lead. I still reckon it is going to be very low total for auto promo 2nd spot. Low 81-82 for Leeds or Fulham would just about do it

Its going to be a very interesting month ahead (for some)

11/10 for WBA win it. Almost double your money, well worth it although they do have a run of tough games still. They have Brentford, Weds, Bristol C all away and Fulham, Forest and local derby against Brum.

Just my take. The league is so erratic I am not sure an easy run in exists

WBA 83
Leeds 81
Brentford 78
Fulham 77
Notts For 74
Preston 73

Wouldn't be surprised if Bristol City sneak a play off spot

Updated table

Leeds only have 3 teams to play who might be desperate for points at the bottom of the table.

Still got Luton, Charlton, Barnsley, Stoke and Huddersfield all at home.

Admittedly some of those may have pulled away by the time we play them or be down I suppose.

If 83 points wins it, we need just 8 wins from 13 fixtures, as other teams will cancel each other out. The advantage for Leeds, Baggies and Fulham is that we have been through this before. We are the best footballing side in this league. There is not a match n our fixtures we cannot win, but there are plenty where we can shoot ourselves in the foot. Steady nerves and clean sheets are the goal for us. Do that and we should eke out the points to get there.

All the talk is of us not scoring enough goals but I think now a string of clean sheets will be more beneficial.
I'll take the nervy 1-0's.
